Cheap level done
analytic Hessianscreened (large B3LYP → ωB97X shift) → finite-difference Hessian was noisy → release uses the analytic Hessian. The two functionals differ by more than 80 cm⁻¹ on some frequency, which sent the molecule to the analytic second route (screen of 23 Sep 2026). The finite-difference Hessian and the analytic Hessian of the same geometry differ by more than 15 cm⁻¹ on at least one frequency; the numerical route is the noisy one. In the released training set this molecule carries the analytic Hessian instead of the finite-difference one.
imaginary mode healedimaginary mode healed by the analytic Hessian. The finite-difference Hessian showed an imaginary frequency that the analytic Hessian does not: numerical noise, not a saddle point.

Harmonic frequencies at the cheap level (deck v1: B3LYP and ωB97X, 6-31G*, at the B3LYP geometry)

63 vibrational modes; imaginary modes negative. Shift = ωB97X − B3LYP.
